For the support of local activities which happen to be stalled by the mere lack of initial funding, we propose to plant many small seeds in attached initiatives and thus amplify their and our interdependence.

The emphasis lies in many small seeds, where I can see that we add the Map Camp proposal to the list of invited communities and renegotiate the amounts to be redistributed between then three projects.

Since we met at the World Social Forum in Montreal, we (Mutual Aid Networks (MAN) team, led by me in each instance) have hosted two international summits each with a mapping workshop as a key component.

Please notify me, once the beneficiaries are final, and processing of the transfers should begin.
